Cute hotel. Great safe location walkable to many things. The 2 negatives were that the beds were hard as a rock and creaked terribly. We just like softer beds. But, the air conditioner did not get the room cool at all and there were no windows we could open. It was probably at least 80 degrees all night. Thankfully they did bring a fan into the room but we were all still drenched in sweat throughout the night. We got about 2 hours each of sleep due to the extreme heat. If it wasn’t for the AC problem, this would have been an awesome hotel to stay in.

The rooms definitely need an upgrade. They advertise having WiFi, but it was very limited and totally unsecured. The location is perfect, but the construction on the road made walking difficult. The pool area was very nice and it was handy having a restaurant connected to the hotel.

Our room was great. We were in older section of hotel and we loved the feel. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs as we are seniors. Bistro 57 had excellent food both breakfast and dinner. We will definitely return in trips of future. Room rate was very competitive. There were many evening events to attend in nearby areas that were walkable. Terry from Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri USA GO CHIEFs!! SuperBowl Champions x 2 !!!

Expedia not aware of extensive street and sidewalk reconstruction for two blocks in any direction … leaving poor walking thru construction debris and piles of bricks pipes boards and concrete … it appears this is a major city reconstruction involving roads water electrical that will continue for months .. ps vehicles not allowed within 2 blocks of hotel meaning dragging luggage thru construction .. Casa del Balam staff tried to help as best they could but barricades and debris made rolling suitcases a great problem … this should have been made clear by Expedia and hotel .. ps other hotels on the same immediate area also affected similarly.. I checked out early due to the problem but since booked thru Expedia the hotel was unable to adjust the charges. D. Black PS: Expedia customer service site not user friendly

Street construction was going on but that should be finished in the next month or so. It will be a great upgrade to the street and improve walking safety
